5 Steps to The Perfect Mitzvah Project for Your Bar/Bat Mitzvah Child

Your child is approaching Bar/Bat Mitzvah age and celebrations are in order! In addition to party planning and learning religious ritual, many synagogues require students to complete volunteer service in the form of a Mitzvah Project. Connecting this activity to your child’s interests can turn the Mitzvah Project into one of the most meaningful and fulfilling aspects of the process!

Here are some helpful steps for finding the perfect Mitzvah Project that will commemorate his or her transition into adulthood and engage your child’s passions too.

Brainstorm: Sit down with your child to see what it is this project means to him/her. With this maturing age, you can ask questions like “What are you passionate about?” and “How do you think you can make a difference?” Think about the different types of community service, including volunteer work, fundraising, and/or organizing a charitable drive or initiative. Finding something that sparks an interest will inspire them to get involved.

There is so much you can do with a NYC Party Theme! Buildings, landmarks, parks, neighborhoods, bridges, colors, food, taxis….the list goes on and on. Which means the possibilities to express your creativity are endless!

ICONIC NEW YORK EVENT SPACES

Top off the NYC theme by hosting your event at one of the NY iconic event spaces.

Edison Ballroom

Located in the heart of Times Square, Edison Ballroomis a premier event space. Its renovation preserves the spectacular modern art deco decor.

Football season kicks off this week, making it the perfect time to share this creative event. Melisa Imberman of The Event of a Lifetime planned a great bar mitzvah with a fresh take on a football theme. The party was inspired by a NY Giants tailgate. Nearly every aspect of the party was reminiscent of a tailgate from the décor to the food. READ MORE ......→

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend! Leanna’s “Shine Bright Like a Diamond” bat mitzvah took place on April 26, 2014 at SPACE in Englewood, New Jersey. SPACE’s creator and in-house event planner, Elvira Grau (who also happens to be Leanna’s mother!) called this event a “Party Planner’s Over the Top Bat Mitzvah.” Elvira was faced with the challenge of transforming SPACE into a particularly special backdrop for her most important client to date – her daughter! Photography by Chris Herder Photography.

SPACE is an all inclusive venue with an in-house chef, DJ, entertainment and of course, Elvira who did all of the décor, design and flowers for the event. The event space is a unique combination of an elegant catering hall and trendy club filled with high tech video games, bowling, laser tag and more. READ MORE ......→

When it comes to planning an event, whether it be a Jewish wedding, bat/bar mitzvah, Sweet 16 or party, it can be easy to overlook the small stuff. No one forgets that big centerpiece sitting in the middle of the table, but what about the rest of the space? Nothing dials down the décor like neglected areas. This is where you want to work smarter, not harder. You want something easy and plentiful. It doesn’t get any more plentiful (and affordable) than water. You’d be amazed by what you can create when you freeze the stuff. Ice décor can be that unexpected touch that gets your guests talking.
